5 A Nervous Hydra

CHAPTER 5 A NERVOUS HYDRA The next day, the Dragon Masters brought their dragons to the courtyard as the king had asked. "Are you sure we have to do this?" Petra asked, walking with the hydra behind her. "This won't take long," Griffith promised her. "The king just wants to show off your dragon to Queen Rose."

第五章紧张的九头蛇第二天，龙的主人按照国王的吩咐，把他们的龙带到了院子里。 “你确定我们必须这么做吗？”佩特拉问道，九头蛇跟在她后面。 “不会花太长时间的，”格里菲斯向她保证。 “国王只是想在罗斯王后面前炫耀一下你的龙。”

Drake was happy to be outside with Worm. His Earth Dragon slid across the grass beside him. Shu was next to Bo. Kepri walked with Ana, and Vulcan stomped along behind Rori. "Did you name your hydra yet?" Rori asked Petra. "Not yet," Petra replied. "You can't rush these things."

德雷克很高兴能和沃姆一起出去。 他的土龙在他身边的草地上滑过。 舒挨着波。凯普里和安娜走在一起，瓦肯跟在罗里后面。 “你给你的九头蛇起名字了吗？”罗里问佩特拉。 “还没有，”佩特拉回答。“你不能操之过急。”

King Roland stood in the courtyard, waiting for them. He was tall, with a bushy red beard. Queen Rose, from the Kingdom of Arkwood, stood next to him. She had a kind face and she wore her hair in two long braids. Behind them, the king's guards were trying to hold back a crowd of villagers. "I thought we were just going to meet the king and Queen Rose," said Petra. "Why are so many people here?"

罗兰国王站在院子里等着他们。 他个子很高，留着浓密的红胡子。 阿克伍德王国的罗斯王后站在他旁边。 她长着一张慈祥的脸，梳着两条长辫子。 在他们身后，国王的卫兵正试图阻止一群村民。 “我以为我们只是去见国王和罗斯王后，”佩特拉说。 “为什么这么多人在这里？”

"Word must have got out that the dragons would be outside," Drake guessed. "The villagers have been excited about the dragons ever since they found out about them." King Roland came toward them. "Good morning, Griffith!" he said in his booming voice. "Thank you for bringing the dragons." The king walked up to the hydra and then turned to Queen Rose. "See? This new dragon has four heads!" he said. iohlik. "Just like I told you!"

“一定有消息说恶龙会在外面。”德雷克猜测。 “自从村民们发现了这些龙之后，他们就对它们感到非常兴奋。” 罗兰国王向他们走来。 “早上好，格里菲思！”他用洪亮的声音说。 “谢谢你把龙带来。” 国王走向九头蛇，然后转向王后罗斯。 “看到了吗?这条新龙有四个头！”他说。 “就像我告诉你的那样！”

"This is an amazing dragon," the queen said. "What can she do?" Griffith started to talk about the hydra. Two little kids ran past the guards. They each had a dragon toy—a dragon head with a long ribbon tail, attached to a stick. They chased each other around the courtyard, waving the sticks. The hydra's four mouths frowned as the kids got closer. Her two front feet started to paw the ground. Drake noticed it. But Petra had her back to the hydra.

“这是一条神奇的龙，”女王说。 “她能做什么？”格里菲斯开始谈论九头蛇。 两个小孩跑过警卫。 他们每个人都有一个龙玩具——一个龙的头和一条长长的丝带尾巴，拴在一根棍子上。 他们在院子里互相追逐，挥舞着棍棒。 当孩子们走近时，九头蛇的四张嘴皱起了眉头。 她的两只前脚开始抓地。 德雷克注意到了。但佩特拉让她回到了九头蛇身边。

Then Drake's Dragon Stone started to glow. That sometimes meant Worm was trying to tell him something. Now he could hear Worm inside his head. Petra must calm the hydra. She must pat her heads right away. Drake nodded at Worm.

然后德雷克的龙石开始发光。 这有时意味着沃姆想告诉他一些事情。 现在他能听到蛔虫在他脑子里的声音了。 佩特拉必须平息九头蛇。 她必须马上拍拍她的头。 德雷克朝虫子点了点头。
